Seals and creaking noise
X5 45e creaking noise
My rear trunk area was making like a creaking squeaking noise on the rear driver side l and it turned out to be something with the latch thing so they retightened/adjusted that. Rear driver side noise is gone but the rear passenger had the same similar noise just not as loud so I don’t know if it was always there just drowned out since the rear driver side was louder. So I called back let the SA aware of the issue and brought it back to get looked at again and this time did a test ride with a foreman. The foreman heard the same noise and now I just got this message from the SA
“Finding some foreign cleaning/detailing substance on the seals for your rear gate that is causing the grunting/rattle type noise the foreman heard with you this morning. The tech cleaned the gate seals as part of diagnosis and noise now gone. We are also hearing similar noises from your doors-finding the same cleaning/detail substance on the door seals as well”
He said it’ll be $200 for them to clean the seals or I can clean them myself to save money. My question is does this even sound legit like a cleaning substance would make that rattle noise and if so what can I use to clean it myself to save $200. Thanks in advance
